A Remarkable Growth.

The many friends Of Messrs. Montgom-
cry Ward & Co., formerly Of 227 and 229
Wabash Az, Chicago. will be glad TO
know that the rapid growth OF their busi-
ness has forced them to emove from Wa
bash Av., to Ill, 112, 113 and ia Michi-
gan Av., where they have purchased Q
magnifi cent building, the seven floors OF
which they occupy exclusively. These
seven floors are each 100x165 feet, aggre-
eating nearly 100000 square feet OF
(sbout 8 acres) of floor surface. The new
quarters will enable them to handle their
large business to the better advantage of
their thousands Of customers. Fifteen
years ago Messfs. Montgomery Ward d
90. occupied but one room and that only
25x40 feet. The enormous growth Of their
business during the fifteen years can only
be explained by the fact that they sell d.
rect to customers, supplying all their
wants, and never misrepresent any article.
The success OF this house proves the old
saying. that " Honesty is the best policy"
and from this policy they never deviate.
The fall catalogue issued by Messrs. Mont
gomery Ward & Co. ought to be in every
family.

One Of the worst failures that haI

that of 8. B. Frankel & Co.,, stockholders
at Virginia City, last Fall. The receiver
Frank Wildes, appointed TO wind up the
wreck, has just made his first report tc
the District Court. Judge Rising presid'
ing. He recommends, says the Report,
that q dividend OF az per cent DO de-
clared. and Judge Rising has given the
creditors until the Oath instant TO show
cause why IL should not be declared. The
creditors are to be notified OF their for.
tune. The assignee recommends that the
creditors lawyers be given only 20 per
cent () Of the total receipts. The as
signee's own bill is 81, 1850 03. The total
receipts from all sources were $35 1884 IS
with which to pay 81 ,000, 900 Of debts. The
expenses Of carrying on the assignee bust
ness were $2.535. The assignee recon.
mends that the business be not yet closed,
as he might collect more money. and to
collect it the modest sum Of 81, 900 10 is
held. The total cost Of printing has been
1898 95. The Sheriff gets $4O8 for his
services while assignee, and $500 has been
paid for rent, etc., etc.

..eAmECOCK ARR

1t IS o dangerous experiment W piaOo
a young man of parts in a position that
is calculated to give him the big bead.
If Riddleberger had climbed up stairs
by his own efforts and been a score OF
years on the way, instead of being
yanked up stairs by Malone, he would
have been an ornament, instead of a dis
grace, to the Senate. -Shelbyville (lnd.)
Democrat.
There is a question as to whether Ma
hone was the author Of Riddleberger or
Riddleberger the author of Malone.
Neither dreamed when they started the
Readiuster movement in the Old Do.
minion that it would reach as far as the
United States Senate. As a matter OF
fact R~iddleberger, "Gamecock Harry
of the Shenandoah Valley" as he is
called, originated the whole scheme.
He was a member of the General As.
sembly of Virginia some years ago,
being also the editor of a weekly Demo
cratic p at the time. He took the
position that Old Virginia should not,
in Justice, be held liable for the whole
OF the debt contracted and put upon her
in one way and another while her terri
tory was intact, West Virginia having
been organized and cut off without her
consent, and he introduced a bill to scale
the debt to a just proportion between
the two. His bill created great local in.
t~erest, aud the Readjuster party was
the outgrowth of it. Some of the hot.
test political contests ever known in the
State of Virginia were fought over this
question, and both Malone and Riddle
berger rode into seats in the United
States Senate on it. 1t was the bringing
OF the bottom rail on top, SO to speak,
for neither Malone nor Riddleberger
were of the ADLER of Virginia's promi'
nent men. Both were the merest &C
cidents.
On inquiry we found that the doctrine
of readjustment was not SO ubiquitous as
it had been painted. We once spent a
few weeks in Virginia and got the heart
of this whole movement. The Gre
adjusters" simply wanted West Virgins
to assume a fair pro rata of Virginia'f
debt, she having taken off by "the
slide" one.half of Virginia's taxable
property, or thereabouts. There was
nothing especially wrong in this PROPOSE
tion, and there should not have been so
much fuss made about it. The debt, SC
far al Virginia is concerned, was finally
settled on this basis. The b~ondholders
must lose or make West Virginia pay
And "Gamecock Harry" the author
of all the turmoil, has gone to pieces
through his success. Inately a good
fellow, ~convivial and bibulous, he was
not strong enough to control himself,
and SO fell an easy victim to the rosy
god. He is now so far a wreck, as to be
drifting into softening of the brain. II
is extremely doubtful if he will be able
to again resume his seat in the United
States Senate. If he should fall by the
way, which seems more than probable,
Governor Fitzhugh Lee would, of course,
appoint a Democrat to the vacancy, and
this would make things still more in.

Starting = Paris Daily.

The fact IS that tho cheapness with
which newspaper can be brought out in
Paris Is strong temptation for people TO
try their luck as editors and publishers
A very slender proportion of the large
Journals own either type or presses-even
The Petit Journal and The Figaro being
run Off at Northumberland hence any one
with credit at a printing establishment
can easily compete, in promptness of issue,
with the Older organs. Printing, too, Is
cheap in Paris, and a few Thousand dol
lars will, as to Typography, put daily in
the ring for month or two at any rate.
Then, the advertising business being
habituany In the hands of agents, con-
tracts OF some sort or other are easily
made, although something like q guar
anteo OF permanency is exacted by the
fermiers before the fourth page Of the
paper meets with any encouragement at
their hands.
In olden times 1t was not as light O
matter as it is nowadays to start daily
newspaper In Paris. Tho governments
permission had to be obtained; overy copy
had to bear government stamp; and po-
htIcal discussion was so hampered by gov
ernment censors that a free expression of
opinion was hardly TO be thought Of All
this was changed long ago; the publisher
OF each Partisan daily has, 20 be sure, to
send an early copy of his paper to the pre-
lecture, but this is little more than for
maiity, and the caution money and stamp
were abolished many years back.-New
York Times.

A "Stradivarius" Concert.


Music lovers tho world over will be in
terested to know OF the chamber concerts
gwen here recently by the Duke and
duchess de ChampoSeice. It is not known
That the like were ever given IN the world
before, certainly not in Paris The dis
tinguishing feature was not the quality or
length Of the programme, but the fact that
all the instruments were made by the great
Stradivarius. The duke is connoisseur
IN all respects musical, and has spent much
time and money in securing specimens of
the Italian makers work. The musicians
who took part in his chamber concerts
gladly laid aside their own instru-
mentS to use those that the duke placed
before them, and the result was such an
Interpretation of the best guartets Of Beet
hoVen, Schumann and ,Mendelssohn as has
never been equaled, in respect Of sorority
and richness Of tone, at least.
The duke OWES eight instruments Of
Stradivarius, among which is a violin re-
Gently bought in England for the modest
sum of 80, GOO francs, or, to put tt more
comprehensibly, $4,000. 1t was known
in London as Bets Strad, because Bets had
bought it over sixty years ago for 81, about
So. 1t was made in 1704 and has been so
well preserved that it looks almost like a
new violin. The duke Is arranging for
other concerts, in which he expects to
utilize his eight instruments in the per-
Torrance of Memberships octette. The
number of violin collectors is not great,
but their passion is, and it is that that puts
the price to such an extravaganza height.
Among the most inyeterate collectors Of
this city is a woman whom few seem to
know much about except that she is
always ready to strike bargain for an
ancient instrument. Much of her trading
~ done on the street.-Paris Letter
